Sports Beat with Lloyd Carroll
Written by Lloyd Carroll   
Monday, 26 December 2011
NEW YORK – Bob Costas, who grew up in Commack, has earned a well-deserved reputation for being a probing interviewer. His skills were on display again when he conversed with Tom Seaver on the MLB Network’s “Studio 42" program recently. Just when all of us thought we knew everything about the greatest player in Mets history, and the bizarre 1977 trade that sent him to Cincinnati for four marginal players, Costas was able to elicit some new information from “The Franchise.”

It was always assumed that Seaver was traded because Mets president M. Donald Grant did not want to renegotiate his contract. It turns out that was only one factor. According to Tom, Grant asked him if he was a Communist for serving as the team’s union rep, and then expressed disdain that a proletariat player as himself could join the tony Greenwich Country Club.
